Rechner had a breakout role in Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans as sporty bully Logan Hall, and starred opposite Jane Seymour and Jacqueline McKenzie in Ruby’s Choice. Kartanya is a Trawlwoolway woman of Nipaluna/Hobart in Utruwita/Tasmania, and has lent her deadpan wit to Deadloch, The Messenger, and Gold Diggers.
